Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp

Guests have two choices when deciding how to get to the camp. The first option is to fly into either Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport, stay overnight in Arusha City, and then be driven 335 kilometers or 8 hours to the camp.

Alternatively, guests can avoid the bumpy Tanzanian roads by taking an internal flight from Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport to the Seronera Airstrip, which is only a 90-minute flight and a 50-minute drive from the airstrip to the camp.

Our camp is situated in South Central Serengeti, so it is perfectly located to take advantage of the best game-viewing opportunities. As well as the many species of resident game, the Great Migration passes through twice annually, and you will have a great chance to see the famous ‘Big 5’ wildlife species close by. And since the camp’s location is inside the park, it is ideal for early morning starts to your game drives.

The cost of a stay will depend on the dates of your stay and the number of guests. Please get in touch with us directly for prices.

It is useful to arrive at the lodge with sufficient cash to pay for extra drinks and staff gratuities. Banknotes such as 5-dollar, 10-dollar, and 20-dollar bills are best. Poor network coverage in the park may mean the card machine is not always working. Most of the time, you can use US Dollars in Tanzania, particularly in tourist areas, and major credit cards are accepted at most hotels, lodges, and camps. However, we advise having some local currency on you if you want to purchase from a local shop. Major towns and airports have forex bureaus where you can exchange most major currencies such as US Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, etc.
